Three nights later.
In Takigakure's dungeon, Kakuzu was sitting against the wall.
There were no windows in the dungeon, so he couldn't tell the difference between day and night. He could only calculate the time based on the number of times the guards delivered meals.
During these three days, he never stopped for a moment and kept accumulating Chakra.
After accumulating bit by bit, Chakra is now able to operate somewhat.
But these Chakra can only allow him to release one ninjutsu at most.
Elder If he brings others with him, the little money he has accumulated Chakra won't be enough.
So he could only bet that Elder came alone.
The execution was carried out secretly. What the elders feared most was that others would know about it.
At this moment, footsteps came from the corridor.
The person who came was none other than Elder, and he was the only one.
Even the guards outside the dungeon were dismissed by Elder.
Elder stood outside the cell door and looked at Kakuzu for a while before opening the cell door, holding a short knife in his hand.
In Elder's view, Chakra of Kakuzu was sealed by Sealing Tags.
Now he is the lamb to be slaughtered.
Early tomorrow morning, Takigakure announced to the outside world that Kakuzu failed to assassinate Hashirama Senju and died in the hands of Hashirama Senju.
This matter was solved perfectly!
Don't blame Takigakure for being too weak, just blame the enemy for being too strong!
Who made Kakuzu's opponent Hashirama Senju, God of Shinobi?
"Kakuzu, don't blame Takigakure."
"If you're to blame, blame yourself for coming back alive."
"Elder, I have performed tasks for Takigakure for so many years."
"So, Takigakure will declare that you are Takigakure's hero..."
Kakuzu did not continue to speak.
He is waiting for an opportunity.
Elder walked up to Kakuzu and stabbed Kakuzu in the heart.
Just when the tip of the knife touched the clothes, Kakuzu put all the Chakra that had been accumulated for three days into motion.
Earth Release·Hardening Technique!
Kakuzu's body suddenly became as hard as a stone.
The tip of the knife pierced Kakuzu's heart, and it collapsed with a click.
"Sclerosis?"
"Isn't your Chakra sealed?"
Before Elder had time to step back, Kakuzu's shackled hands had already hit him hard on the chest.
Elder fell to the ground, lifeless.
This is the first time Kakuzu has taken action against the elder of Takigakure.
Kakuzu took a few deep breaths and used up all the Chakra he had accumulated.
If Elder had brought someone here, he would be a dead man now.
He took out two keys from Elder's waist.
With one hand, he opened the shackles on his hands.
As the shackles were opened, all Chakra that had been sealed in the body was restored.
The other one is the key of Forbidden Grounds Behind the Mountain.
Elder is the leader of Takigakure, and the key to Forbidden Grounds is always hanging on his body.
Kakuzu left the dungeon and went straight to Back Mountain.
Takigakure It was so quiet at night that no one knew anything happened in the dungeon.
There is a seal on the stone door of Forbidden Grounds Behind the Mountain.
He had only seen this stone door from a distance before.
Kakuzu opened the stone door with the key and walked in.
There are two things in Forbidden Grounds.
Same, it is the scroll with Earth Grudge Fear sealed.
Another thing is Takigakure's vault, with boxes and boxes of banknotes and gold piled high.
Kakuzu opened the scroll of Earth Grudge Fear first.
Takigakure's Forbidden Technique Earth Grudge Fear can turn the body into black threads and steal other people's hearts.
Every time you get a heart, you get an extra life.
Not only that, whatever attribute the captured heart has, you can use that attribute's ninjutsu, and you can have up to five hearts.
Kakuzu didn't hesitate at all.
He looked at the scroll with both hands Hand Seals.
Black threads came out of his body.
At this moment, Forbidden Grounds there was a sound of footsteps outside.
It was almost dawn, but Elder never came back.
The guard of the dungeon went back and saw that Elder had fallen to the ground and Kakuzu was no longer around. He quickly went to report the news.
The four elders of Takigakure chased Back Mountain all the way.
They blocked the stone door.
"Kakuzu!"
"How dare you kill Elder!"
"Elder wants to kill me, why can't I kill him?"
"A traitor is a traitor! Today, you can't get out of Forbidden Grounds alive!"
The elder who rushed at the front sprayed Hand Seals with both hands and sprayed Fire Release towards Kakuzu.
Kakuzu did not hide, Earth Release·hardening technique, and took this bite Fire Release forcefully.
Kakkō Before it dispersed, the black thread immediately wrapped around the elder and penetrated through his chest.
When the black thread was retracted, a still beating heart was taken out.
"Earth Grudge Fear!"
"He actually learned Forbidden Technique!"
The heart was sewn into Kakuzu's body with black thread.
Kakuzu raised his hand, Hand Seals.
Fire Release·Searing Migraine!
A mouthful of Fire Release was more powerful than the Fire Release used by the elder just now, forcing the second elder back outside the stone gate.
"He is using Lao San's Fire Release!"
"Why is it more powerful than what Lao San used?!"
The remaining three elders turned pale.
"Kakuzu! If you leave Earth Grudge Fear, Takigakure will not hold you accountable!"
"That's not what you said three days ago."
Earth Grudge Fear is Forbidden Technique of Takigakure. The elders know better than anyone else what it means for Earth Grudge Fear to fall into the hands of Kakuzu.
"Run! Go call someone!"
But it's too late.
Black threads emerged from the ground and wrapped around the ankles of the three elders.
One uses Wind Release, one uses Lightning Release, and one uses Water Release. There are three hearts in total, and they entered Kakuzu's body one by one.
At dawn, all the elders of Takigakure fell into Forbidden Grounds.
Counting Kakuzu's own heart, there are a total of five hearts in his body.
Black threads sewn five hearts into his body, and his Chakra suddenly increased several times.
He can use all five types of ninjutsu including earth, fire, wind, thunder, and water!
Kakuzu walked into the vault.
At the very back of the treasury is a ledger.
It is recorded in the account book that most of the commissions he earned from performing tasks for Takigakure over the years went into this treasury.
He sold his life for Takigakure for so many years, and the money he earned went into Takigakure's treasury. In the end, Takigakure wanted his life.
Takigakure betrayed him.
The elders betrayed him.
People will betray, villages will betray.
Only money will not betray you.
Kakuzu threw the ledger on the ground.
The gold is too heavy to take with you, Kakuzu only takes the silver notes.
He packed up all the banknotes he could take away, and a rough calculation found that there were more than sixty million taels.
This money should have been his, and no one should be able to take another tael from him.
The movement outside finally alerted the Takigakure ninjas, and teams of Takigakure ninjas rushed to Back Mountain.
Kakuzu walked out of Forbidden Grounds.
Someone recognized him.
"It's Lord Kakuzu!"
The few Takigakure ninjas who were blocking the front were knocked to the ground by one of his Lightning Releases, and no one else dared to rush forward.
Kakuzu didn't look back, he killed Back Mountain and headed east.
To the east is Land of Rice Fields.
From now on, I Kakuzu only believe in money!
